I figured it wouldnt be good but still wanted to ask. I just saw online they have fish protein powder...meaning protein powder for humans made from fish, not protein powder made for fish. I may try it, but probably will never get around to it.

I wonder if any fish food companies use alternative protein sources? I remember reading some weird ingredients on the back of my hikari carnivore but can't remember them off the top of my head.

I had 2 oscars and at one point I fed each 10mg per day of Winstrol in tablet form. It didn't kill them like I had expected, nor did the fish grow faster that I noticed.

Errrrrrr.........so, if you expected it to kill them, why did you give it to them? (sorry, one of those thoughts that won't go away!)

Well a protein is a combination of amino acids. And in a different protein there is a different variation of amino acids. Each source has its own combination. Lets say, protein from chicken, protein from tuna, protein from peanuts... protein from whey...
If a fish can digest all these proteins (mealworms, magots, flies, grasshoppers, shrimp, guppies, etc. etc. etc.), and the fish uses all the amino acids, there would be no reason why it cant digest whey protein. Its just a different combo of amino acids, and this is just my logical thinking.

The problem with dairy products is the lactose, not the protein. Pure whey protein doesn't have lactose in it.

I guess you guys are not at all familiar with European carp
angling and baits,then?Milk protiens have been the staple for
creating high protein/high nutritional value baits (boiled baits
aka boilies) for the last 30yrs.Fish utilize milk proteins quite
well,as evidence of how large and weighty carp have gotten
over the years consuming such baits.

I wouldn't do it man. I tried giving my fish whey protein for awhile and they wouldn't stop bugging me about taking them to the gym and taking them tanning.

When you hear about humans using steroids, do you expect them to die?

If it were pure whey protein, I'm having trouble understanding why it wouldn't be safe, or digestible.
